Why This Matters Across Episodes

The longer arc this connection carries

Caldwell’s moral awakening in Part 2 continues in Part 3, as Dent still dominates legal and strategic maneuvering. Though Caldwell is less central, his continuity across episodes underscores Dent’s unbroken authority and ruthless corporate loyalty.
